Maintenance
Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, nonabrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.
If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or damage the unit's exterior.

Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

INSTALLATION
RS232, RS232 TTL, Light Pen or Laser Emulation
1.Turn off the host device.
2.Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the IS3480.
3.Connect the 9-pin female end of the PowerLink cable to the host device.
Note: Skip to step 6 if receiving power from the host device.
4.Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC Figure 4. outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
5.Connect AC power to the transformer.
6.Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
A software driver and correct configuration setting are also required for proper communication to occur.
See page 5.

When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.
Powering the IS3480 directly from the host device can sometimes cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port. For this reason, Honeywell recommends using an external power supply. For additional information, contact a customer service representative.

Notes for Laser Emulation
IS3480-104 Only
The IS3480-104 leaves the factory with the Laser Emulation Mode enabled.
If the Recall Defaults bar code is scanned while reconfiguring the scanner, the laser emulation mode will no longer be enabled.
Scan the following bar code to re-enable the laser emulation interface. This feature is only supported for IS3480-104 models.

SCANNER OPERATION
Configurable Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes
There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the IS3480.
•The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the scanner starts.
•The secondary scan pattern mode is activated by pressing the button located on the side of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the button mode. For additional information on QuantumE’s button modes and an example of each, please refer to Configurable Button Functions below.
The scanner returns to the primary scan pattern mode after a double click of the button or if the unit has not scanned a bar code for the duration of a pre-configured time limit.
Each pattern mode can be configured to use one of three scan patterns listed below. Please refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for information on changing the default scan pattern settings.
•all scan lines on (omnidirectional reading)
•single-line (menu reading)
•horizontal raster
If CodeGate is enabled, it will apply to the secondary pattern mode when scanning. For detailed information on CodeGate and the button refer to the Configurable Button Functions.
Configurable Button Functions
The button on the side of the IS3480 can be configured to function in one of four modes.
•Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Enabled (Default)
•Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Disabled
•Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Enabled
•Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Disabled
The following pages include examples of how the button will function when the unit has been configured to operate in each of the four button modes.
